“So this is one of the most useless tours i have ever seen in my life. Maybe they guided version is better as people write in the reviews, def not the self-guided. First of all self guided should be somebody dropping you in a place and then you go around yourself. But here i just received a word file and nothing else. And even if the concept has a different meaning, the transport advice they provided, you can easily find online - i received it in a free walking tour guide of sofia- and a wikipedia description of the place. A 30 euro worth of word file. No map print…”
